[0032] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the container can be understood as either a pot or a kettle.

[0034] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of a container provided by this utility model and the desired technical effects it brings.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The container 1 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 100 and a handle 200. The container body 100 has a first locking portion 110, and the handle 200 has a second locking portion that engages with the first locking portion 110. One of the first locking portion 110 and the second locking portion is a mounting cavity 212, and a slot 2121 is provided in the mounting cavity 212. The other of the first locking portion 110 and the second locking portion is provided with a locking spring 113. After the locking spring 113 is inserted into the slot 2121 in a first direction, the handle 200 and the container body 100 are locked together, and the slot 2121 restricts the movement of the locking spring 113 in a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction.

[0036] In detail, in this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 on the container body 100 is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring piece 113, and the second snap-fit ​​portion on the handle 200 is a mounting cavity 212. That is, the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 can be installed in the mounting cavity 212 so that the snap-fit ​​spring piece 113 on the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 can be snapped into the slot 2121 in the mounting cavity 212.

[0037] That is, in this embodiment, the container body 100 and the handle 200 can be connected by the first snap-fit ​​part 110 and the second snap-fit ​​part, without the need to use rivets or screws to connect the container body 100 and the handle 200. This reduces the alignment and tightening operations of rivets or screws, and improves the assembly efficiency of the handle 200 and the container body 100.

[0038] Understandably, when container 1 is used in a high-temperature environment, screws or rivets may loosen or shift due to thermal expansion and contraction, causing the handle 200 and container body 100 to become loose, affecting their stability. In this embodiment, the container body 100 and handle 200 are locked together by a snap-fit ​​spring 113 engaging with the slot 2121. Under high-temperature conditions, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 can abut against the slot 2121 over a wider range to enhance the locking strength between the snap-fit ​​spring 113 and the slot 2121, ensuring a stable connection between the handle 200 and container body 100 even in high-temperature environments.

[0039] In detail, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 has a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is disposed in the first snap-fit ​​portion 110, and the free end is close to the container body 100 relative to the connecting end. It should be noted that after the handle 200 and the container body 100 are assembled, the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is close to the container body 100 relative to the connecting end. During the process of the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 extending into the mounting cavity 212 in the first direction, the free end is compressed by the inner wall of the mounting cavity 212 until the free end is at least partially restored to extend into the slot 2121.

[0040] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is compressed by the inner wall of the mounting cavity 212, causing deformation. Since the slot 2121 within the mounting cavity 212 provides ample space for the snap-fit ​​spring 113 to extend, it snaps into the slot. After the handle 200 is assembled with the container body 100, the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is close to the container relative to the connecting end. Therefore, when the user moves the handle 200 in the second direction away from the container body 100, the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 tightly abuts against the inner wall of the slot 2121, forming a tightening hook. This locks the handle 200 and the container body 100 together.

[0041] It should be noted that although the snap-fit ​​spring 113 in this embodiment is elastic, it also needs to have a certain rigidity to prevent the snap-fit ​​spring 113 from deforming and causing the snap-fit ​​spring 113 to fail to snap into the slot 2121 when the handle 200 moves away from the container body 100 in the second direction.

[0042] For example, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 can be made of spring steel or stainless steel. In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 is an integral part, that is, the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 can be made of spring steel or stainless steel as a whole, wherein the snap-fit ​​spring 113 can be formed by stamping the first snap-fit ​​portion 110.

[0043] Of course, the handle 200 can also be made of a material with a certain strength and heat resistance, such as heat-resistant plastic. Alternatively, the handle 200 can be made of polyphenylene sulfide or a composite material formed by nylon 66 and glass fiber.

[0044] The slot 2121 has a locking surface 2122. When the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is engaged in the slot 2121, the locking surface 2122 is opposite to the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 to restrict the snap-fit ​​spring 113 from disengaging from the slot 2121 in the second direction. The angle between the locking surface 2122 and the second direction is greater than or equal to 90°. Understandably, since the angle between the locking surface 2122 and the second direction is greater than or equal to 90°, it ensures that when the handle 200 approaches the kettle body in the first direction, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 can more easily extend into the slot 2121 during the process of the first snap-fit ​​part 110 engaging with the mounting cavity 212, thereby completing the assembly of the handle 200 and the kettle body.

[0045] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 The mounting cavity 212 has an open end and a closed end. The size of the open end gradually decreases in the direction from the closed end to the closed end, meaning that the size of the open end gradually increases in the direction from the closed end to the open end, so that the first snap-fit ​​portion 110 can extend into the mounting cavity 212. It should be noted that the size of the open end in this embodiment is relatively large. When the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is at the open end of the mounting cavity 212, it is not deformed by the inner wall of the open end. Only after the snap-fit ​​spring 113 moves away from the open end in the first direction is it gradually deformed by the inner wall of the mounting cavity 212. Finally, after the snap-fit ​​spring 113 extends into the slot 2121, it at least partially recovers and springs back, with the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 facing the locking surface 2122 of the slot 2121.

[0046] In detail, the first snap-fit ​​part 110 in this embodiment includes an installation part 111 and a connecting part 112 connected at an angle. The installation part 111 is fixedly installed on the container body 100. The connecting part 112 extends along the second direction and has a snap-fit ​​spring piece 113. The handle 200 near the container body 100 is also provided with a covering cavity 211. The covering cavity 211 communicates with the installation cavity 212 and covers the installation part 111.

[0047] by Figure 5 For reference, the open end of the mounting cavity 212 is closer to the encapsulated cavity 211 than the closed end.

[0048] by Figure 3 For reference, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is gradually inclined downward in the first direction, and the snap-fit ​​groove 2121 in this embodiment is also provided on the lower side of the mounting cavity 212.

[0049] Optionally, the handle 200 is also provided with an unlocking part 230, which at least partially protrudes from the handle 200. The unlocking part 230 can move relative to the handle 200 in a preset direction to drive the snap-fit ​​spring 113 to disengage from or extend into the slot 2121. The preset direction is parallel to the compression direction of the snap-fit ​​spring 113.

[0050] The unlocking part 230 can be understood as an unlocking button. In this embodiment, the unlocking part 230 is located on the lower side of the handle 200, and the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is set downward. Therefore, the user can lift the unlocking part 230, thereby causing the free end of the snap-fit ​​spring 113 to lift upward and disengage from the slot 2121. At this time, and after contacting the slot 2121 and the snap-fit ​​spring 113, the user can separate the handle 200 from the container body 100 in the second direction.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 To ensure the connection strength between the handle 200 and the container body 100, the handle 200 can also be connected to the mounting part 111. Optionally, the mounting part 111 is provided with a first guide part 114, and the covering cavity 211 is provided with a second guide part 213 that engages or magnetically cooperates with the first guide part 114.

[0052] The first guide portion 114 can be a guide notch, and the second guide portion 213 can be a guide protrusion that engages with the guide notch.

[0053] Alternatively, the first guide portion 114 and the second guide portion 213 can be magnetically connected to facilitate the connection between the handle 200 and the container body 100.

[0054] The mounting portion 111 is provided with a plurality of first guide portions 114, which are spaced apart circumferentially around the mounting portion 111 to further ensure the connection strength between the handle 200 and the container body 100. In this embodiment, "plural" can be understood as two or more. For example, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 is provided with two first guide portions 114, which are guide notches.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 5 The handle 200 includes a mating part 210 and a gripping part 220 connected together. The mating part 210 is provided with a mounting cavity 212 and a covering cavity 211. It should be noted that the mating part 210 and the gripping part 220 can be integrally formed or have a separate connection structure.

[0056] Optionally, the outer periphery of the grip portion 220 is provided with a plurality of spaced protrusions 221. It can be understood that the protrusions 221 can effectively increase the friction between the user and the grip portion 220 when gripping, so as to ensure that the user can hold the handle 200 stably.

[0057] In summary, the present invention provides a container comprising a container body 100 and a handle 200. The container body 100 has a first engaging portion 110, and the handle 200 has a second engaging portion that engages with the first engaging portion 110. One of the first engaging portion 110 and the second engaging portion is a mounting cavity 212, within which a slot 2121 is provided. The other of the first engaging portion 110 and the second engaging portion is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring 113. After the snap-fit ​​spring 113 is inserted into the slot 2121 along a first direction, the handle 200 and the container body 100 are locked together. The slot 2121 restricts the snap-fit ​​spring 113 from moving along a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction. This eliminates the need for rivets or screws to connect the container body 100 and the handle 200, reducing the need for alignment and tightening operations and improving the assembly efficiency of the handle 200 and the container body 100.

[0058] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
